Common Causes of a Slow Computer
- Malware or virus infection – See our virus removal service

- Full or fragmented hard drive – Low disk space causes significant slowdowns
- Outdated or failing hard drive (HDD) – An SSD upgrade dramatically improves speed
- Insufficient RAM – Not enough memory for modern applications
- Overheating – Thermal throttling slows the CPU to prevent damage
- Outdated Windows or drivers – Missing updates cause performance issues
- Corrupted Windows files – System file corruption causes slowdowns
- Browser extensions and bloatware – Unwanted software consuming resources

SSD Upgrade – The Biggest Speed Boost

Our SSD upgrade service in London includes cloning your existing drive so you don't lose any data.
